Book Description
Excerpt from The Sign of the Seven Sins No; I dare not reveal everything here, lest I may be misjudged. The narrative is, to say the least, a strange one; so amazing, indeed, that had I not been one of the actual persons concerned therein I would never have believed that such things could be. Yet these chapters of an eventful personal his tory, remarkable though they may appear, are nevertheless the truth, a combination of unusual circumstances which will be found startling and curious, idyllic and tragic. Reader, I would con fess all if I dared, but each of us have skeletons in our cupboards, both you and I - for, alas! I am no exception to the general rule among women.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Seven Deadly Sins The business of literature is the presentation of life, all true literature resolves itself into that. No presentation of life is complete without its sins, and every master of literary art has known it, from the poet King of Israel to Robert Browning. The imagination of the Middle Ages, in many ways more virile and expansive than our own, had a strong grasp of this fact, and realised that it is the sense of fault or error that lies at the root of every forward movement, that there is no real progress unless it is accompanied by a sense of sin. Other terms may be used to describe the dynamic power which has moved societies or individuals from lower ideals to higher, but if we get beyond words to things, we see the sense of the defective character, the unrealised ideal, always and everywhere as the moving force. To the Catholic Church, touched as it often has been and not always to its detriment, with pagan mysticism, the problem of evil was associated with a mystical number; and the succeeding pages are an endeavour to trace the various presentations of the Seven Deadly Sins as they have been given by men of powerful imagination, or profound insight, at different periods in our literary history.

Excerpt from Chaucer and the Seven Deadly Sins Significantly enough both Chaucer and Gower deem Chid ing one of the divisions of Wrath,20 whereas in many medieval catalogues of the Sins, this fault is classed apart from the Deadly Seven as a Sin of the Tongue. Chaucer, however, seems to have recognized the claim of 'chiding to especial treatment, since he had already illustrated the general theme of Wrath in his friar-summoner tales: but more of that in due season.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Theory About Sin: In Relation to Some Facts of Daily Life; Lent Lectures on the Seven Deadly Sins "A Theory about Sin" owes its completion to two causes. It had long been entertained by the writer, that the various developments of sin might all be referred for their existence to different forms of selfishness. Many efforts were made by him to reduce to a system the thoughts which either suggested or arose from this conception. These efforts, however, proved unsatisfactory when sufficiently elaborated to become capable of systematic arrangement. Some element in the mental problem was wanting. A winter spent in Florence in 1871-72 gave further opportunity for considering the subject of sin in relation to self. This consideration was assisted by the timely gift from the publisher of a book then lately issued from the press entitled, "A Shadow of Dante."

Book Description
“Conventional wisdom,” says Roger Housden, “tells us that nobody goes to heaven for having a good time.” Seven Sins for a Life Worth Living, then, is a refreshing, liberating, and decidedly welcome dose of unconventional wisdom that awakens us to the simple delights and transformative joys of the world around us. With elegance, gentle humor, and remarkable openness, Housden takes us along as he recalls his personal journey toward an appreciation of what he calls the Seven Pleasures: The Pleasure of All Five Senses, The Pleasure of Being Foolish,The Pleasure of Not Knowing, The Pleasure of Not Being Perfect, The Pleasure of Doing Nothing Useful, The Pleasure of Being Ordinary, and The Pleasure of Coming Home. Housden writes, for instance, of submitting to the ultimate folly of falling in love, of celebrating our imperfections, of coming to understand the virtues of the Slow Food movement while enjoying an all-afternoon lunch in a small French village, and of discovering in a Saharan cave that, however extraordinary our surroundings, “we are human, a glorious nothing much to speak of”—and learning to be at peace with the notion. Such pleasures may be suspect in today’s achievement-driven, tightly scheduled, relent-lessly self-improving, conspicuously consumptive culture, but surely the greater sin lies in letting them slip away moment by precious moment. “The purpose of this book,” says Housden, “is to inspire you to lighten up and fall in love with the world and all that is in it.” Reading it is a pleasure indeed. “When you die,God and the angels will hold you accountablefor all the pleasures you were allowed in life that you denied yourself.” Roger Housden, author of the bestselling Ten Poems series, presents a joyously affirmative, warmly personal, and spiritually illuminating meditation on the virtues of opening ourselves up to pleasures like being foolish, not being perfect, and doing nothing useful, the pleasure of not knowing, and even (would you believe it?) the pleasure of being ordinary.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Seven Cardinal Sins, Vol. 4 of 5: Avarice, Anger One fine morning in the month Of May, 18 a young girl about eighteen years Of age, who was clad in working dress, and whose charming though melancholy face wore that peculiar pallor which seems to be a sort of sinister re ection of poverty, was walking thought fully down the Charnier des Innocents. Several times she paused as if in doubt in front Of as many scriveners' booths, but either because the proprietors seemed too young or too unprepossessing in appearance or too busy, she went slowly on again. Seeing, in the doorway of the last booth, an Old man with a face as good and kind as it was venerable, the young girl did not hesitate to enter the modest little establishment.

Book Description
Excerpt from Tales of the Seven Deadly Sins: Being the Confessio Amantis of John Gower But in all these texts, and especially in Dr. Pauli's, most of the lines are right for those whose previous training has enabled them to read Old English. There is really nothing wanted but a little help to right accentuation to enable any reader, with or with out previous training in Old English, to enjoy the Confessio Amantis. Of course a fallible and mortal editor cannot avoid some slips in the line for line accentuation of a poem of lines. I believe, however, that the reader here has Gower's song more nearly than in any former edition given as he sang it him self, nothing modernised, but rather with a few words carried back to their original form for the recovery of the right rhythm of a line. Gower's poem in this edition is so far from being jagged and unmusical that, I hope, there is not a broken line in it from first to last.
